Closet Cleaning

I am cleaning out my closet...I do this about every six months, but this time I'm being brutal...NO MORE holding on to stuff b/c I have a sentimental attachment to it...If I don't fit into it or don't like it/haven't worn it in forever...OUT it went!  I wound up taking 6 bags of clothes/shoes to Goodwill Sunday with the Hubby. 

The only thing I kept was the outfit I had on when I met my husband and the outfit I had on when we got engaged...I haven't worn either outfit since those occasions, but they are too special to toss! :)

I got the cleaning bug and found a fitting Pin on Pinterest...

Do others clean their closets like this...Or am I the only OCD that has to have it just so?

XOXO - Happy Monday!!

English Bulldog Puppy for Sale - PRECIOUS!

We have friends that have an English Bulldog puppy still for sale...They had a litter back in September, and all of the babies have sold except for (in my opinion) the CUTEST one!  He is just precious...He has one little freckle on his forehead and the sweetest temperament ever!  Here is a pic of said precious Bully...

This photo was taken last night...11/2/11

He is an NKC registered English Bulldog...If anyone sees this and is interested please leave a comment on the blog and I will let the owners know...it is a friend and she has more photos to view on her Facebook as well as an ad in the AJC...

Baby Brother is 18!

This sounds so crazy and makes me feel old, but my baby brother is no longer a "baby", but will be 18 years old on Tuesday!  Here are some pics of him through the past up to last night where we went and had his b-day dinner a little bit early being it falls during the week this year.  I love S. so much and am so proud of how much he's accomplished already...Such a proud sister!

S. on the left and me on the right as babies

S. pitching for Glenwood a couple of years ago.

Myself and S. at Glenwood's National Honor Society Inductions.

Lumps, Bumps, and Favorites Right Now

So I have this lump/bump on the base of my neck right near my spine...It has been bothering me since June and it has just become really noticeable and sort of painful.  I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me it is a fatty tissue cell lump from what he could tell and referred to it as "buffalo hump".  I am apparently young to have this, etc...

Next week I am going to go have blood work done, b/c lets face it...I am a scaredy cat and terrified of needles, so its been 3 YEARS since I've had blood work done.  I am scared and I hope that this lump/bump is nothing and no big deal...Here is hoping and praying.  I know this seems so trivial compared to what some people go through, but I don't like any foreign lumps/bumps on my body! :)

Praying blood work and everything comes back fine next week.  They are going to check me for thyroid, etc...Mama has a family history, so maybe this is all it is!  I would just like to feel better and have my energy back...

In the mean time...I have discovered Sally Hanson "Tyin the Knot" color nail polish...LOVE!  Such a pretty gun-metal gray.  Also...My husbands beloved lime water...He adores it! :)

Priscilla - Pug Hoarder

Our new baby pug, Priscilla, is shown below in a video I took of her this afternoon while I was working on my research proposal.  I had all of my stuff on the dining room table and had given her and our other pug, Porter, a pig ear each to chew on so they would "behave" while I worked.  No such luck...This is what Miss Priss does with hers...she WILL NOT eat it, but searches for random places to hide hers, and then steals Port's and eats his...Total female, this one! :)

 I have yet to find where she put it, and we are not finding her pig ears in random spots around the house...I have not idea how to make her stop, but it's pretty funny in the mean time!

XOXO

Versace=Best Hubby EVER

I kept telling the hubby I needed new sunglasses b/c mine were Tarjay brand and my eyes were hurting the more I was in the sun, driving, etc....I really wanted some nice polarized sunglasses, preferably w/ cat eyes. 

So, to the mall we went...I am now the proud owner of these beauties :)

The picture doesn't do them justice...perfection if you have a round face like mine!  Sunglasshut.com has them too I believe...
Happy Saturday and RTR!
XOXO

MUST Have Boots

I am currently avoiding doing work on a presentation I have tomorrow night, and what else am I doing...Shopping online and watching Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode whilst snuggling with the Pug babies :). 

I found a pair of boots that Pursona in Columbus had last year, and every time I see photos from the BD, all of the girls have them on!  I am literally kicking myself for not getting a pair last year b/c the color goes with everything and they look to-die-for on!  They are from BC Footwear and are the "In the Mood" boot in Mushroom.  I got this photo from revolveclothing.com, but they are Out of Stock! :(

Stalking these lovelies now for a size 7...
